Jordan reigned over basketball and the hobby during the 1980s and 1990s, leading the Bulls to six championships. Jordan’s greatness, charisma and collectibility continue to spark hobby innovation.

Air Jordan’s legacy emerges on the floor of the National Sports Collectors Convention. This year’s convention houses some of the finest Jordan cards and memorabilia in existence, from high-grade rookies to low-numbered inserts and cards featuring autographs and memorabilia.

Here’s a look at the 23 finest Jordan items at the National – a scavenger hunt for Chicago’s biggest basketball legend.

1. THE rookie card, 1986-87 Fleer, graded Gem Mint 10.

2. Jordan starred in college at UNC.

3. MJ’s signature appears on a number of quirky items – including this mini-jersey.

uh, How about #21? That card is sooooo damn fake it’s pathetic. It’s very sad that Beckett “authenticated” it in the first place. The fact that Beckett “authenticates” cards, but not the patches is no excuse. BECKETT knows that logomen were not in this product, and they simply have their heads in the sand. This is right up there with their 9.5’s on cards that are at best 8’s, It’s just another showing of how Beckett is clueless about the hobby and are P A T H E T I C

Frank, no one believes that UD products are still in high demand. The company is about five seconds from bankruptcy and running every scam possible trying to stay alive. And they only produce college crap with the same exact photos in every product. Just one garbage issue after another.
